(2) detect fraud perpetrated by a program provider or client.

(b) To minimize cost and duplication of activities, the commission shall assist and coordinate:

(2) the efforts of those agencies with the efforts of other agencies involved in a statewide health care data collection system provided for by Section 108.006, Health and Safety Code, including avoiding duplication of expenditure of state funds for computer hardware, staff, or services.

(c) On the request of the executive commissioner, a state agency that administers any part of Medicaid shall assist the commission in developing the system required by this section.

(2) the medical effect denial of Medicaid coverage for more than three medications has had on Medicaid clients.

(e) The commission shall ensure that the database system is used each month to match vital statistics unit death records with a list of persons eligible for Medicaid, and that each person who is deceased is promptly removed from the list of persons eligible for Medicaid.
